An Approachable Guide To Creating A Minimalist Wardrobe
Clean Out Your Closet
- Sort and organize your apparel, separating items into three distinct piles: Donations, Disposal, and Clothes to Keep.
- Keep only the garments you love dearly and plan to wear often.
- From the usable items, sell the items you can and give or donate the rest.
- For clothing that is damaged beyond wear, get creative and turn them into rags for cleaning.
- Don’t clear out all your clothes at once. Slowly swapping out some garments in exchange for quality pieces will be less overwhelming and more affordable.

Minimalism
It's the idea that by owning less, we free up the time, energy, and money to get the most out of life. The more intentional we are about what we keep, the freer we are to seek fulfillment.
Reasons For A Minimalist Closet

- Increased confidence: if all your clothes are your best, you feel good no matter what you put on
- More time and money: being satisfied with your wardrobe means shopping less so you can use your time and cash on more important things
- Positive environmental impact: by investing in long-wear clothing, instead of fast fashion, you help prevent waste.

Knowing your fit

Because one of the reasons we jump into buying new stuff is that nothing from out closets seem to fit right.
Buy for reality
Don't buy clothes for a fantasy you. Because you may end up with a huge wardrobe with nothing to wear.
